Canines — the pointy teeth on both sides of the incisors in the upper and lower jaws; used to tear food. This is followed by the first 4 molars, and the remaining bottom 2 lateral incisors.
Lateral incisors are beside lateral to the central incisors. Next, the 4 first molars come in. Often, after the child reaches 2 years old, the 4 second molars the last of the baby teeth appear. The teeth on the upper jaw often erupt 1 to 2 months after the same tooth on the lower jaw. There are a total of 20 primary teeth.
